1 Man Killed, 1 Injured in Knifings Outside Bar
A North Hollywood man was killed and his younger brother seriously injured Thursday in a knife attack after an exchange of insults outside a bar.
Rafael Orozco Casillas, 27, was listed in stable condition Friday at Holy Cross Medical Center in Mission Hills.
His brother, Daniel Casillas, 28, died at the same hospital about 10:30 p.m. Thursday, about two hours after the fight on Burbank Boulevard near Fulcher Avenue in North Hollywood.
Los Angeles Police Detective Mike Coffey said two suspects--Tony Mikhail, 20, of Hollywood and Henry Casillas, 22, of Van Nuys--were arrested Friday and booked on suspicion of murder.
Police continued to search for a third suspect.
Henry Casillas and the Casillas brothers who were stabbed are not related, he said.
Coffey said it appeared that the brothers had been drinking and had antagonized the suspects.
